The marks on mine are stamped into the crown of the helmet.The only printed writing on it is a number near the chinstrap fixing.

I recommend you check out Mark Reynosa's PASGT helmet book, published by Schiffer. You'll find what you need in there..and some!

I've buy this helmet some days ago, and wait now to receive it. Theses pictures are from seller. For me, it's an experimental 3 points chin strap and there's some curious marks inside. No NSN, no number of contract. Do you have an idea of value for this helmet ?

Yes, the elephant is Unicor's mark, i believe. The 86/87 is the year it was made if I am not mistaken, and the L-4 is the size, Large. Don't know what the "+" means, though.

You have right for mark, date and size. The "+" is present on all helmet. It's a rest of cast (I don't know if it's the real word in english, sorry about that...), when fabricating the helmet. If you analyze the helmet shield, you can see there's others marks like this on the front, rear and both side "-".
